When introducing A-list director J.J. Abrams at the female-driven Athena Film Festival at Barnard on Friday, Lena Dunham joked, “I think it’s pretty generous you agreed to even let a dude in the building, all things considered at this moment in time.”

Accepting the Leading Man award, Abrams said of the Time’s Up movement: “The genie is out of the bottle and all of us — not just the women — should be thrilled about it. Not just for the creative and economic opportunity, but because who among us in 2018 doesn’t want to fight for what is fair.”

(Then again, he’s reportedly working with controversial Quentin Tarantino on the next “Star Trek” film.)
